Some would say friendly, some would say pushy!

I was standing out the front looking at what they had trying to work out if there was anything of interest. The staff member behind the counter was pointing out all the different things they had on offer. I decided to get a mixed container of the ravioli for $10, this came with a free bottle of water.
It was really nice, but a little on the watery side for my liking.

Approximate cost: $10.00

This place always does delicious salad rolls/sandwiches! Very fresh and with lots of salads to choose from. Different cost depending on how many salads you have and cheese is extra.
They sell pre made sandwiches and other items with a selection of cold drinks and coffee/tea.

Staff are usually friendly.

Approximate cost: $9.00

We have ordered from this pizza place twice now. Pizza is good, better then most. Base is nice and thick with plenty of toppings. Garlic Bread is just the normal garlic bread, nothing special.

We ordered online through eat now and it arrived 20 minutes before the expected delivery time. Driver was friendly.

Approximate cost: $20.00

Recently went here with a group of fiends for dinner. I had never been here before but had heard mixed reviews on it.

There was a lot of big groups of people here the night we went so it was extremely noisy, you could only talk to the person next to you or opposite you. I am not sure if this is what it is normally like.
When we went up to get food, there was a pretty big line up but it moved along quickly. There is a great selection of different cuisines, something to suit everyone. The food was good for a buffet. They also have a dessert buffet, i didnt eat that but the people I was with did, and said it was good.
The staff were friendly.

I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, especially not on a weekend.

Approximate cost: $30.00.00

It was a last minute decision to spend the night away and we chose here. We were quite surprised at how nice and modern the room was. We had a room on the 10th floor and it had great views of the beach, jetty road and the hills from the balcony and the bed. A large TV on the wall, generous bathroom and a king size bed. Very basic room but its all you need for a night away. The only thing I think that could have improved it was by having a flyscreen on the sliding door other then that it was a really nice place. The bed was very comfortable. We ordered room service breakfast, it was delicious and a good portion size. It does have a mini bar, but like most places the prices are steep.

Walking distance from the Glenelg Pier for dinner, and just a short walk down the road to Jetty Road. Coles within walking distance also. Or hop on the tram and take a ride into the city.

We would stay here again.

Approximate cost: $160.00

We browsed all the other menus along the Glenelg Pier and decided on this place as we wanted seafood. We were greeted quickly, handed a menu and taken to a table. We had a few moments to look over the menu and then a friendly waitress took our order. We ordered Salt & Pepper Squid ($33) and Salt & Pepper Whitebait ($22). Our meals came out promptly. Up until this we were very happy with the service and atmosphere of the restaurant, but this all ended when our meals arrived. Both the squid & whitebait was dry and tasteless. Very few chips, but the salad was nice. For the price we paid, we expected high quality meals but these did not meet our expectation.

The place, view and staff were all great but the quality of the food lets it down. We would not go back.

This review is for Blue Sapphire Nail & Beauty, Trott Park SA

I started going here about 6 months ago and both Mel and Laura are absolutely lovely. I have had the pleasure of Mel doing my nails for this time and she is fantastic, her work is great and the nails stay on for a lot longer then other nail salons i have been to. She is willing to try anything you throw at her and won't stop until she gets it perfect. Laura has done my waxing and is very professional and great at what she does too. Both ladies make you feel very comfortable in the shop and are easy to talk to. Now that i have found them i won't go anywhere else!

They offer a wide range of beauty services including acrylic nails, pedicures, waxing and facials.

Approximate cost: $10-100

This review is for Deep Blue Cafe, Moana SA

Have been here a couple of times now and its always been good. It can get quite busy so best to get in earlier to avoid the rush and noise. They have a few different areas to dine in. 2 inside and outside seating. Its a quirky little place with unusual decor. They have a couple of wood fire places they light in winter and sometimes have a singer performing in the inside eating area.

The food is always good and the prices are average. We usually get pizza when we dine in and its always great with plenty of toppings. They also have a takeaway side. The hot dogs and chips are yummy!

We went here for tea. There was 3 of us and we all ordered something different. The Barramundi - It was slimy and frozen not fresh fish. The Salt & Pepper Squid was good with good flavour. Veal Rump Steak was ordered medium rare but came out well done and was extremely tough and inedible. This came out on 2 huge potatoes which were soggy. The salad bar was good and had a good range of salad and vegetables, bread also available.

The venue was quite nice with big windows looking on to a patio with a water fountain and ponds.

We did let the waiting staff know that the veal was over cooked on the way out and they apologised and said they would let the chef know.

Overall it was disappointing and we won't be back.

This review is for Seahorse World, Beauty Point TAS

I went here on a recent Tasmania holiday and thought it was fantastic! The guide was very informative and didn't rush through the tour, gave us plenty of time to look around and ask any questions.
It was great to see Seahorses right through their life from a few days old up to years old.
They have an area at the end were you can handle some water animals such as seahorses, rock crabs.
They have an extensive range of gifts to buy in the gift shop and the prices aren't too bad.
They sell a small assortment of food and drinks.
